The <br />proposed fee is $50,000 plus reimbursable <br />expenses. A cap on reimbursables has not <br />been negotiated, so the Contract is not ready <br />to be signed. The Commission has seen the <br />draft contract/form of contract. Staff <br />recommends accepting the proposal of <br />ZPD+A and the Center for Neighborhood <br />Technologies and authorizing execution of <br />the contract by legal counsel or the <br />Redevelopment Director when it is final. <br />22 <br />
